  — 
  E., 
  3, 
  in 
  the 
  morning; 
  N.N.E.,

  in 
  the 
  evening. 
  A 
  

   few 
  migrants 
  appeared 
  in 
  North 
  Lincolnshire 
  (Caton 
  Haigh), 
  but 
  

   I 
  saw 
  nothing 
  on 
  the 
  shore 
  at 
  Sheringham 
  to 
  prepare 
  me 
  for 
  

   what 
  was 
  coming. 
  An 
  Icterine 
  Warbler, 
  t 
  however, 
  was 
  shot 
  at 
  

   Blakeney, 
  some 
  seven 
  miles 
  further 
  west, 
  and 
  some 
  Eedstarts 
  

   seen. 
  The 
  wind 
  at 
  Yarmouth 
  was 
  as 
  entered 
  above, 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  

   practically 
  similar 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  hours 
  at 
  the 
  Skaw 
  in 
  North 
  

   Denmark, 
  at 
  Cuxhaven 
  in 
  North 
  Germany, 
  and 
  at 
  Helder 
  in 
  

   Holland. 
  

  

  19th. 
  — 
  E., 
  5, 
  at 
  Yarmouth 
  (N.N.E. 
  the 
  evening 
  preceding). 
  

   From 
  the 
  reports 
  sent 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Alexander 
  Napier, 
  of 
  Holkham, 
  

   Mr. 
  Kay 
  Eobinson, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Pashley, 
  it 
  appears 
  that 
  from 
  early 
  

   morning 
  a 
  most 
  unusual 
  movement 
  was 
  in 
  progress. 
  From 
  

   Brancaster 
  to 
  Salthouse, 
  and 
  especially 
  among 
  the 
  herbage 
  and 
  

   bushes 
  of 
  Wells 
  and 
  Holkham 
  sandhills, 
  small 
  migrants 
  of 
  the 
  

   order 
  Passereswere 
  simply 
  swarming. 
  "More 
  Pied 
  Flycatchers 
  

   and 
  Eedstarts," 
  says 
  Mr. 
  Eobinson, 
  " 
  arrived 
  on 
  the 
  North
